Enable/Disable Depth Effect for Photo Contact Poster on iPhone
To get going, let’s sort out a couple of fundamental questions!
How Does Depth Effect Work on iPhone Contact Poster?
In terms of functionality, the depth effect for a contact poster works in the same fashion as the depth effect for an iPhone Lock Screen wallpaper. Leveraging AI-based image processing, it’s able to distinguish between the subject and the background.
Hence, the contact poster/Lock Screen is endowed with a multi-layered effect that puts the primary subject in the background while moving the clock dramatically between the foreground and the background. As a result, the subject looks more appealing to the eyes.
What’s the Requirement for Setting up a Depth Effect iPhone Contact Poster?
It’s worth noting that the depth effect supports only portrait images. For those unaware, portrait mode enables the iPhone camera to create a stunning depth-of-field effect. Thanks to this effect, you can snap shots with a sharp focus on the subject while keeping the background blurred.
